Try to take pics if you can, it will help us understand your problem.

I don't want you to think I am questioning your reloads but are the loads you developed for your other AR F/L sized ? The reason I ask is I have a M1A that I only bump the shoulder back .005" to get sort of a fire form affect and if they are not F/L resized they may no fit the new chamber correctly

^^^ That! Have you tried to cycle loaded rounds?
BE CAREFULL! |

Yes, the reloads are Full Length resized. It is okay to question the reloads as that is what I thought at first. The shells that stick had a large chunk out of the rim the same size as the extractor. Tomorrow I am going try the BCG out of the heavy barrel in the ATI to see if it does the same thing. I will try to figure out how to post a picture also.

I dont think there is anything wrong w/ the extractor. If there's brass missing on the case from the extractor then its trying to pull the case out but its getting stuck. Its probably a tight chamber &/or the case diameter of your reloads are to large & when shot again expand even more & get stuck. I would guess the latter. You will have to do some measuring.

What are the barrel lengths and gas systems of each rifle?

If it shoots factory ammo ok then your reloads are obviously a problem.
You might try slowing down extraction so the chamber pressure has time to drop more. Heavy action spring and/or heavy buffer. Also post in the reloading forum with your component list. You also need to include info about the weapon. |

Thanks Carbine length gas system, midlength, rifle length gas system (unlikely on a 16"). There is supposedly an intermediate length as well, I believe between mid and rifle. This brings dwell time into play. I think I understand, but I'm no teacher, google it. |

I think I have found the problem. Today at the range I tried to eject a loaded round from the ATI and it required a couple of taps with a hammer to eject the loaded round. I am currently using a Redding FL resizing die to make reloads. I think I might need to use a small base die as it seems this gun has a very tight chamber. I am not sure how I am going to deal with the 2K rounds I already have loaded. I want all my rounds to work in both the heavy barrel and the ATI.
Thanks for everyone's help. |

Here are the SAAMI Maximum Cartridge / Minimum Chamber Specifications to check your reloads with if you don't have these blueprints already.

You need to use a small base die set.
Sounds like the chamber in your other AR is larger and your resizing is not bringing the brass back down to where it will fit on your newer AR. |

Maybe, certainly does not hurt to use a SB die, except brass life. The weapon’s headspace could be short. You may not be setting the case shoulder back enough. Your trim length may not be ok. |
